Misheard lyrics

[Ally192]

This Modern Love by Bloc Party. I always thought part of the song said "You told me you wanted to eat up my sandwich". The last word is actually sadness though. Haha.

 

[MELSMICE]

Umbrella

under my um-brella to me sounds like "under my arm forever"

LOL - I thought that forever, also.

I forgot about this one............in the song, Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffet sings, "Searching for my lost shaker of salt". I thought my DH was going to fall out of the car when he heard me singing, "Searching for my lost chigarous dog". I could never figure out what a "chigarous dog" was or why Jimmy Buffet was singing about it!!!

 

[kimmar067]

....well, for the LONGEST time I couldn't figure out why
"...Lucy in disguise, whiffs diamonds..." !!

 

[Mellie2162]

The chorus of "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" by England Dan and John Ford Coley goes as follows:

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

I always thought the first line was "I'm not talking 'bout the linen"

I don't know why, it doesn't make any sense. My DW laughed her behind off when she heard this.

Tell her thats not funny, I used to sing the same thing and I thought it said there's a warm wind blowing the stars around...

Also from Grease You're the One That I Want it says:

You better prove that my faith is justified and I used think it said You better improve or baby's justified. I had no clue what they were talking about either. Thought those were the stupidest song lyrics ive ever heard.

I had a friend that thought Steve Miller's song said "big hotel with the light on" instead of " Big old Jet Airliner."

CCR "There's a bad moon on the rise." "There's a bathroom on the right."

Queen "Another on bites the dust." "Another one rides the bus."

Cinderella's "Don't know what you got till it's gone." "Don't know what it is but it's long."

Just a few of my favorites.

The item hilighted in BOLD is actually a Weird Al song

Maybe it is time to post Hotel California - it's been awhile

On a dock, there’s a highway
Cool Whip in my hair
One parapalegic
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
A soaring shivering light
My head grew hairy and my sack rolled in
I had to stop for the night
Dead fish stood in the doorway
I had conditioned hair
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven and this could be Hell
Then she lit up a Ken doll
And she showed me the way
There were horses down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Don’t go to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Renting a room at the Hoedown California
Any time of year
You can buy me beer.

Her mind was stiff and he twisted
She’s got the worst eighties bands
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls Sven
How they dance in the courtyard
Swedes, some are sweat
Sundance to remember
Sundance to forget
So I come to the Hilton
Please bring me my wife
He said
We haven't had that spilled in here since 1969
And still those whatchamacallits from far away
We threw up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Wake up to the oat man, can’t afford ya.
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely face
Lemonade up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
When you’re out of ice

Mirrors are deceiving,
depict champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just visitors here
Of our only vice
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it while they’re still in ice
But they just can't kill the thief
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I wasn’t four
Good night, said the madman
We are programmed to recede
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

For the longest time I thought Blinded by the Lights lyrics were "Blinded by the light reved up like a duche" and its "Blinded by the light reved up like a duce" I felt like a idiot afterward,because its one of my favorite songs!!

I always thought it was "Wrapped up like a.....feminine product! "

 

[Wheelsie]

Ooooooooooooo nobody's posted this yet!


"Hooold me cloooser, Tony Daaaaaaaaaaaaaanza!"



I have not been able to listen to the song seriously again. Ever.

i just tinkled myself laughing!!!
my DH sings it this way ALL THE TIME...as a joke.....I cant get him to STOP~~

 

[Wheelsie]

I thought of a couple more.

My brother thought Kenny Rogers was singing, "four hundred children done cr apped in the field..." instead of four hungry children and a crop in the field... LOLOLOL.

Then there is that 80s song about a girl who might be dead? I can't for the life of me remember her name, but there is a lyric that says, "the mud flowed out of her pajamas..." I thought it said, ummmmm... well a female body part beginning with V. OOOOOPS!!!

Oh, eta, our Mom thought Wild Cherry was singing, "play that f!!!! music white boy!" instead of "play that funky music white boy!" My sister had to do some seriously fast talking to convince her she was hearing wrong! LOLOLOL!

In case no one has said this yet...

The song is called "Lump" sung by Presidents of The United States of America (PoT USA)

 

[Wheelsie]

I always thought this one was "Dirty Deeds Dungen Chief." My husband still laughs everytime he hears that song because of me.

"Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief"

 

[starrzone]

I apologize if someone has posted this already, but I got this from another forum and think it's pretty darn funny!

It starts out normally, but just wait...you will !


ETA: here are the actual lyrics according to lyricsmania.com:

Lyrics to A Little Help From My Friends :
What would you think if sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes I'm certain that it happen all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody, I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

I don't know what the actual chanting at the beginning of "The Circle of Life" is, but my family will always sing it as we once heard in a stand up comic's routine - Pink Pajahmas, Penguins on the Bottom

 

[Wheelsie]

All through the Christmas season, my radio told me I was listening to "Songs for the Ho" since Holidays didn't fit.

DW didn't share my amusement when I told her XM had a channel just for her.

 

[Wheelsie]

LOL - I thought that forever, also.

I forgot about this one............in the song, Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffet sings, "Searching for my lost shaker of salt". I thought my DH was going to fall out of the car when he heard me singing, "Searching for my lost chigarous dog". I could never figure out what a "chigarous dog" was or why Jimmy Buffet was singing about it!!!

a dog having CHIGGERS....or a bug/fur infestation.

 

[Wheelsie]

Pink Pajahmas, Penguins on the Bottom

Thats just Darn funny!!!!!! I don't care who ya area!

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

We actually sing that version on purpose! We know a guy(he was asian) and he was spying on the US for China!!! So when ever he gets brought up....we start singing!


My friends mom couldn't get TLC's "waterfalls"
Instead of:

Don't go chasing waterfalls

it was:

Don't go Jason Waterfalls


Like it was a person

I always thought it was: Don't go chasing waterfalls, just stick to the rhythms and the licks that you're used to. Those are musical terms so it made perfect sense to me.

I don't know what the actual chanting at the beginning of "The Circle of Life" is, but my family will always sing it as we once heard in a stand up comic's routine - Pink Pajahmas, Penguins on the Bottom

I forget what language it is, but it's an African chant. I can sing it, but Im' not sure how to spell it in the original language. Phonetically it is:

Ingwenyama ingwenyama bala. At one point I knew the meaning, it has something to do with a lion (obviously).

 

[MommaSnowwhite]

The Police song Spirits in the Material World- I thought it was "Upstairs in my cereal bowl" not "There are spirits in the material world". My sister spit milk out during one memorable breakfast back then!

There are spirits in my my cereal bowl, are spirits in my cereal bowl.

Kind of the way "Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil" turned into "smell of sheep dip beginning to boil"

 

[PigletsPal2]

Niece sang a song to me that she learned in Sunday School "...they are weak but He smells strong."

[Talking Hands]

I can think of 2 right of the bat.
"Jose can you see" instead of "O say can you see"
A terp I know heard "poison A" for "cloisinne" at Scoop's Pin Talk.
